commit 4de349e786a3a2d51bd02d56f3de151bbc3c3df9 upstream.

On a imx6ul-pico board the following error is seen during system suspend:

dpm_run_callback(): platform_pm_resume+0x0/0x54 returns -110
PM: Device 2090000.flexcan failed to resume: error -110

The reason for this suspend error is because when the CAN interface is not
active the clocks are disabled and then flexcan_chip_enable() will
always fail due to a timeout error.

In order to fix this issue, only call flexcan_chip_enable/disable()
when the CAN interface is active.

Based on a patch from Dong Aisheng in the NXP kernel.

[ Upstream commit 2fb04fdf30192ff1e2b5834e9b7745889ea8bbcb ]

Commit b70661c70830 ("net: smc91x: use run-time configuration on all ARM
machines") broke some ARM platforms through several mistakes.  Firstly,
the access size must correspond to the following rule:

(a) at least one of 16-bit or 8-bit access size must be supported
(b) 32-bit accesses are optional, and may be enabled in addition to
    the above.

Secondly, it provides no emulation of 16-bit accesses, instead blindly
making 16-bit accesses even when the platform specifies that only 8-bit
is supported.

Reorganise smc91x.h so we can make use of the existing 16-bit access
emulation already provided - if 16-bit accesses are supported, use
16-bit accesses directly, otherwise if 8-bit accesses are supported,
use the provided 16-bit access emulation.  If neither, BUG().  This
exactly reflects the driver behaviour prior to the commit being fixed.

Since the conversion incorrectly cut down the available access sizes on
several platforms, we also need to go through every platform and fix up
the overly-restrictive access size: Arnd assumed that if a platform can
perform 32-bit, 16-bit and 8-bit accesses, then only a 32-bit access
size needed to be specified - not so, all available access sizes must
be specified.

This likely fixes some performance regressions in doing this: if a
platform does not support 8-bit accesses, 8-bit accesses have been
emulated by performing a 16-bit read-modify-write access.

Tested on the Intel Assabet/Neponset platform, which supports only 8-bit
accesses, which was broken by the original commit.

This reverts:
  commit 33c133cc7598 ("phy: IRQ cannot be shared")

On hardware with multiple PHY devices hooked up to the same IRQ line, allow
them to share it.

Sergei Shtylyov says:
  "I'm not sure now what was the reason I concluded that the IRQ sharing
  was impossible... most probably I thought that the kernel IRQ handling
  code exited the loop over the IRQ actions once IRQ_HANDLED was returned
  -- which is obviously not so in reality..."

[ Upstream commit 4f101c47791cdcb831b3ef1f831b1cc51e4fe03c ]

We kept shadow copies of which interrupt sources we have enabled and
disabled, but due to an order bug in how intrl2_mask_clear was defined,
we could run into the following scenario:

CPU0					CPU1
intrl2_1_mask_clear(..)
sets INTRL2_CPU_MASK_CLEAR
					bcm_sf2_switch_1_isr
					read INTRL2_CPU_STATUS and masks with stale
					irq1_mask value
updates irq1_mask value

Which would make us loop again and again trying to process and interrupt
we are not clearing since our copy of whether it was enabled before
still indicates it was not. Fix this by updating the shadow copy first,
and then unasking at the HW level.

[ Upstream commit 2c0f8ce1b584a4d7b8ff53140d21dfed99834940 ]

Set and verify signature calculates the signature for each of the
mailbox nodes, even for those that are unused (from cache). Added
a missing length check to set and verify only those which are used.

While here, also moved the setting of msg's nodes token to where we
already go over them. This saves a pass because checksum is disabled,
and the only useful thing remaining that set signature does is setting
the token.

<title>bonding: Fix bonding crash</title>

[ Upstream commit 24b27fc4cdf9e10c5e79e5923b6b7c2c5c95096c ]

Following few steps will crash kernel -

  (a) Create bonding master
      &gt; modprobe bonding miimon=50
  (b) Create macvlan bridge on eth2
      &gt; ip link add link eth2 dev mvl0 address aa:0:0:0:0:01 \
	   type macvlan
  (c) Now try adding eth2 into the bond
      &gt; echo +eth2 &gt; /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/slaves
      &lt;crash&gt;

Bonding does lots of things before checking if the device enslaved is
busy or not.

In this case when the notifier call-chain sends notifications, the
bond_netdev_event() assumes that the rx_handler /rx_handler_data is
registered while the bond_enslave() hasn't progressed far enough to
register rx_handler for the new slave.

This patch adds a rx_handler check that can be performed right at the
beginning of the enslave code to avoid getting into this situation.

commit 362210e0dff4eb7bb36a9b34dbef3b39d779d95e upstream.

A cleanup patch in linux-3.18 moved around some code in the ath9k
driver and left some code to be indented in a misleading way,
made worse by the addition of some new code for p2p mode, as
discovered by a new gcc-6 warning:

drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/init.c: In function 'ath9k_set_hw_capab':
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/init.c:851:4: warning: statement is indented as if it were guarded by... [-Wmisleading-indentation]

drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/init.c:847:3: note: ...this 'if' clause, but it is not
   if (ath9k_is_chanctx_enabled())
   ^~

The code is in fact correct, but the indentation is not, so I'm
reformatting it as it should have been after the original cleanup.

The code is in fact correct, but the indentation is not, so I'm
reformatting it as it should have been after the original cleanup.

<title>include/linux/kernel.h: change abs() macro so it uses consistent return type</title>

commit 8f57e4d930d48217268315898212518d4d3e0773 upstream.

Rewrite abs() so that its return type does not depend on the
architecture and no unexpected type conversion happen inside of it.  The
only conversion is from unsigned to signed type.  char is left as a
return type but treated as a signed type regradless of it's actual
signedness.

With the old version, int arguments were promoted to long and depending
on architecture a long argument might result in s64 or long return type
(which may or may not be the same).

This came after some back and forth with Nicolas.  The current macro has
different return type (for the same input type) depending on
architecture which might be midly iritating.

An alternative version would promote to int like so:

	#define abs(x)	__abs_choose_expr(x, long long,			\
			__abs_choose_expr(x, long,			\
			__builtin_choose_expr(				\
				sizeof(x) &lt;= sizeof(int),		\
				({ int __x = (x); __x&lt;0?-__x:__x; }),	\
				((void)0))))

I have no preference but imagine Linus might.  :] Nicolas argument against
is that promoting to int causes iconsistent behaviour:

	int main(void) {
		unsigned short a = 0, b = 1, c = a - b;
		unsigned short d = abs(a - b);
		unsigned short e = abs(c);
		printf("%u %u\n", d, e);  // prints: 1 65535
	}

Then again, no sane person expects consistent behaviour from C integer
arithmetic.  ;)

Note:

  __builtin_types_compatible_p(unsigned char, char) is always false, and
  __builtin_types_compatible_p(signed char, char) is also always false.

commit 7711aaf08ad3fc4d0e937eec1de0a63620444ce7 upstream.

A station pointer can be passed to the driver on tx, before it has been
marked as associated. Since ath9k_sta_state was initializing the entry
too late, it resulted in some spurious crashes.
